Mechdyne Receives 2008 Award for Excellence in AV From ARCHI-TECH Magazine and InfoComm

MARSHALLTOWN, IA--(Marketwire - June 19, 2008) - Mechdyne Corporation today announced that
its work on the C6 Virtual Reality Room at Iowa State University received a
2008 ARCHI-TECH AV Award. Presented on Wednesday by ARCHI-TECH Magazine in
conjunction with InfoComm, the award recognizes Mechdyne for its
integration of advanced technology and design in the C6, the world's
highest resolution virtual environment.

At a ceremony today during the annual InfoComm Show in Las Vegas, five
projects were honored as outstanding examples of the creative and effective
integration of audiovisual technology into otherwise traditional
construction and design projects. Mechdyne was recognized for its
management of the complex retrofit installation, the innovative first ever
use of Sony cinema quality projectors for immersive stereo display, and
integration of a state-of-the-art graphics computing cluster to produce
nearly lifelike 3D images.

The C6 uses 24 Sony SXRD projectors to deliver 100 megapixel per eye
imagery in a fully-enclosed cube located within the Iowa State University
Virtual Reality Applications Center (VRAC). Conceived as an upgrade to an
earlier-generation VR room, the C6 is housed in an enclosure architected to
mimic the tornados that are indigenous to the Ames, Iowa region in the
spring and summer of the year. A key restriction was that this enclosure
and the center could not be expanded or altered in any way. The center
also had to continue operation as a research and learning facility
throughout the upgrade. With extensive experience in system engineering
and staging, the Mechdyne team readily met the challenge of working within
the architecturally designed space.

"The success of the C6 project was the result of exceptional effort and
team work with our partners at Sony and the ISU staff, including a
mechanical engineering team that redesigned the HVAC plant to accommodate
increased thermal loads," said Chris Clover, President and CEO of Mechdyne.
"Sony worked with us to engineer a graphics-ready version of its SXRD
projector that allowed us to far exceed the resolution of any previous
display system. And the University had the vision to support the
development of a new technology approach that defined a new
state-of-the-art in advanced visualization."
